Hi Rob,

Most of the work is meta-data indexing and rights management.
I think it's pretty different though from Lucene's integration (which is 
Java based).

I think the easiest way to integrate an external search engine is using 
the RSS feed a (Main.WebRss)_ and the XML output of XWiki (?xpage=xml)
With proper admin rights this would allow to get the whole content on a 
per page basis (attachments would need to be loaded differently).
The I think the Google Search Appliance has a way to check rights for 
each page getting in the results.

If you manage to integrate it, we would love the contribution !

Ludovic

PS: very cool to see XWiki being used at EMC. Don't hesitate to add your 
install to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/References/
